Laurentia, S.C., Sister M., Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 November 14

She cannot think of letting Father Auguste Martin go without a few lines to show she has not forgotten Blanc's kindness. She hopes he will not take Martin from them; they have heard something to that effect. They have a very good school at present, over 60 children. Some ladies arrived last week with the intention of commencing a boarding school; they have tried to get some of their children but have not yet succeeded. When is Blanc Coming up? Did Blanc get the picture of Father George Blackney; they were all pleased with the retreat he kept. She asks a few words from Blanc at Martin's return. V-5-l - A.L.S. - 3pp. - 4to. - {3}
